  • Parent Company Puzzle in Japan: Another Case of the Limits of Arbitrage＊
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Commerce and Management 42 (2008), pp.67-85. Ⓒ Hitotsubashi University PARENT COMPANY PUZZLE IN JAPAN: ANOTHER CASE OF THE LIMITS OF ARBITRAGE＊ KOTARO INOUE,HIDEAKI KIYOSHI KATO, AND JAMES SCHALLHEIM Abstract During the internet bubble in the U.S., there were several instances that the market value of a parent firm was less than the market value of its holdings of a publicly traded subsidiary. This parent company puzzle is also observed in Japan. The objective of this paper is to investigate whether this puzzle represents mispricing by the stock market, and, if so, to investigate why the observed mispricing persisted for a long period of time. The results are inconsistent with market efficiency. Because of market frictions, there is no guarantee that distortions in stock prices will always be quickly corrected by arbitrage transactions. Surprisingly, even highly liquid stocks listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) can deviate substantially from fundamental values for a long period of time. We suggest these large and persistent price distortions could be attributable to the lack of active arbitrage activity in Japan due to market frictions. Keywords: limits of arbitrage, anomaly, market frictions JEL classification: G14, G15 According to the Nikkei Financial Daily of February 5, 2003, Eifuku Master Fund, a hedge fund with estimated total assets under management of $300 million, went bankrupt due directly to losses on the arbitrage transaction of selling NTT DoCoMo and buying its parent firm, NTT. When the fund sold DoCoMo short and bought NTT long on January 6, 2003, the relative price of DoCoMo was too high compared to the price of NTT which owned more than 50 percent of DoCoMo shares.

  • Section 1: Evaluating Borrower Income Chapter 4
    HB-1-3550 CHAPTER 4: BORROWER ELIGIBILITY 4.1 OVERVIEW Ensuring that all applicants served are eligible and receive the correct amount of assistance is a significant responsibility of Loan Originators and Loan Approval Officials. A borrower must be income-eligible, demonstrate a credit history that indicates ability and willingness to repay a loan, and meet a variety of other program requirements. This chapter provides guidance for each of these areas. • Section 1: Evaluating Borrower Income provides instructions for calculating and verifying annual, adjusted, and repayment income. • Section 2: Evaluating Borrower Assets discusses Agency requirements for cash contributions to the purchase and methods for computing income from assets. • Section 3: Credit History identifies indicators of acceptable and unacceptable credit and provides instructions for reviewing an applicant’s credit history. • Section 4: Other Eligibility Requirements addresses a variety of other requirements applicants must meet to be eligible for the program. • Section 5: Processing the Certificate of Eligibility provides policies and procedures for processing Form FD 1944-59, Certificate of Eligibility. SECTION 1: EVALUATING BORROWER INCOME 4.2 OVERVIEW [7 CFR 3550.53(a) and (g), 7 CFR 3550.54] Loan Originators use income information to: (1) help determine whether an applicant is eligible for a loan; (2) calculate the applicant’s ability to repay a loan; and (3) determine the amount of the loan and the amount of payment subsidy the household can obtain. When reviewing an applicant’s repayment income, the Loan Originator must determine whether the income is stable and dependable. This will typically be accomplished by reviewing information provided in the application, paystubs, tax returns, and oral verifications.

  • Takeovers + Schemes Review
    TAKEOVERS + SCHEMES REVIEW 2020 GTLAW.COM.AU 1 THE GILBERT + TOBIN 2020 TAKEOVERS + SCHEMES REVIEW After a seven-year high in 2018, public M&A involving ASX-listed companies softened in 2019. Some key themes from 2019 were: + 41 transactions valued over $50 million were announced in 2019, down from 49 transactions in 2018. The aggregate transaction value decreased significantly from $48.7 billion in 2018 to approximately $24 billion in 2019. + The healthcare sector made the greatest contribution to announced public M&A by value, followed closely by retail & consumer services and industrial products. + Cashed up private equity firms sought out public M&A targets in a significant way, willing to deploy approximately $10.3 billion on a range of targets in 2019, equivalent to 44% of the aggregate transaction value. + While the number of transactions involving a foreign bidder was broadly the same as recent years, the aggregate deal value attributable to foreign bids fell by more than half from $42 billion in 2018 to $19 billion in 2019. Bidders from North America were the most active, while interest from China was more subdued. + 89% of the total number of announced M&A transactions over $50 million were successful in 2019, despite the slight drop in average final premium paid by bidders. + The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry ignited increased scrutiny and action by corporate regulators. The number of ASIC enforcement actions increased by 20% and the Takeovers Panel heard 38 applications, the second highest in its 20-year history. This Review, which was released on 12 March 2020, examines 2019’s public M&A transactions valued over $50 million and provides our perspective on the trends for Australian public M&A in 2019.

  • The Eclipse of Private Equity
    THE ECLIPSE OF PRIVATE EQUITY BY BRIAN CHEFFINS* AND JOHN ARMOUR" ABSTRACT Private equity, characterized by firms operating as privately held partnerships organizing the acquisition and "taking private" of public companies, has recently dominated the business news due to deals unprecedentedin number and size. If this buyout boom continues unabated, the 1989 prediction by economist Michael Jensen of The Eclipse of the Public Corporation could be proved accurate. This article argues matters will work out much differently, with the current version of private equity being eclipsed. One possibility is that a set of market and legal conditions highly congenial to "public-to-private"transactions could be disrupted. A "credit crunch" commencing in the summer of 2007 stands out as the most immediate threat. The articledraws on history to put matters into context, discussing how the spectacular rise of conglomerates in the 1960s was reversed in subsequent decades and how the 1980s buyout boom led by leveraged buyout associations-the private equity firms of the day- collapsed. If legal and market conditions remainfavorableforprivateequity, its eclipse is likely to occur in a different way. Privacy has been a hallmarkof private equity, with industry leaders operatingas secretivepartnerships that negotiate buyouts behind closed doors and restructureportfolio companies outside the public gaze. However, the private equity boom created momentum among market leaders to carry outpublic offerings and diversify their operations. If this trend proves sustainable, then even if the taking private of publicly quoted companies remains a mainstream pursuit, the exercise will be carriedout in the main by broadly basedfinancial groups under the umbrella of public markets.
